    Jeff,

    A business case for this might be inventory. In our case we had a clerk enter in an invalid unit of measure then she completed some transactions. This resulted in decimal places in our inventory when the items were 'whole'.

    Specifically in our case the item comes in a pack of 6. The master case should have had 10 packs of 6 in it. Instead she said it had .44 of a pack in it.

    What is the datatype of the "field" this entry was made to? I'm thinking that the front end would be the right place for this type of "business logic".

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
